As the countdown to game time ticks away, the question looms large. Will Marshall ever beat WVU? The answer, probably, just not this year. The Thundering turd, (oops, freudian slip!), HERD, under the leadership o Doc Holladay will someday be a relevant team. As it stands now however, WVU didn't try and book Podunk St. for their first game because they knew they'd have Marshall to tune up on. While I'm still far from being on the Dana, "we're gonna score 60 points a game", bandwagon, I will all but bet the house WVU carves up Marshall like a thanksgiving turkey.
First half- Expect the usual first game nerves to produce few point in the first quarter. Penalties will eat the Mounties up and Marshall will take an early 3-0 lead on a field goal. As the nerves subside the tide will turn in the second quarter WVU 17, Marshall 3 at the half.
Second half- blowout city. The only thing you'll remember after this is Geno Smith running for 100 yards while passing for near 300! Tavon will check with two receiving TD's and WVU rolls, 56-10
